In perhaps the most shocking demonstration of WEP being broken, Shawn Hogan shows how he cracked his WEP key in 60 seconds using KisMAC. Granted, he worked on a contrived example, but it is very representative of the way most people set things up. If this doesn’t convince you that WEP is a bad idea and that you should be using WPA, nothing will.
